If the overflow from the expansion tank is running but the ball valve is fine then you could be looking at a burst calorifier.The calorifier transfers the heat from the central heating tank to the mains water.As the mains water is at a higher pressure than the central heating water in the tank,the mains water will force itself out at any weak point. Shut the mains off to the hot water supply and bail out some of the water in the expansion tank.If the water level is stable,but starts to rise when the mains water to the pressure reducing valve is turned back on then that is the problem and a new tank will be required.<br><b>References : </b><br> The only components that are on the heating side are the pump,CH mixing valve and expansion tank.All the other components are for the mains pressure hot water.

However, be careful, if you burn too many oil based products (plastics etc), you might find tar bleeds through your walls. You are best to stick to wood and coal. Even using coal, you need to check the best type for your burner, otherwise you could damage it.<br><b>References : </b><br> If you have no regard for the environment, then you can burn anything.

Peat Briquettes are made from natural Irish Peat. They are easy to light and give off a unique, cheerful flame. Peat Briquettes are a natural product with no additives or binders of any type. They do not create black soot and on average emit only one third of the smoke of a coal fire. They are very low in sulphur emissions too, which means that they contribute to reducing acid rain and so are kinder to the environment all round. Peat Briquettes are easy on the chimney - drier than other fuels, leaving none of those deposits created by all other solid fuels. Briquettes are extremely flexible. They are more reactive than coal, making them much easier to light. They can be used in domestic fires, with or without back boilers- and are ideal in solid fuel cookers and closed stoves. With only 12% moisture content, peat ash acts as a heat store, making for good overnight or long-term banking down. Because of this ability to store heat they are ideal for back boilers keeping domestic water supply hot overnight. As peat fuel does not spark, overnight banking is a safe way of keeping heat in your home all through the night. Peat Briquettes provide a regular and controlled heat source. This feature allows for improved control of your oven which is essential for cooking and baking. They also heat a room quickly, and will heat water twice as fast as domestic coal. The bales are surprisingly easy to carry- much lighter and less bulky than coal, wood or turf. One tonne of Peat Briquettes (80 bales) takes up only one cubic metre, which is 50% more space than a typical solid fuel range.<br><b>References : </b><br> hello,
